[APDL] very simple AMESH error

[APDL] very simple AMESH error

[APDL] very simple AMESH error

(OP)
I have defined two areas and cannot mesh one of them. I defined a local coordinate system but still could not do that. Is there any way to mesh the other area? Here is the commands for the sake of ease:

/PREP7
BLC4,0,0,10,10
ET,1,PLANE42
TYPE,1
AMESH,1
WPROTA,,,90
BLC4,0,0,10,10
CSWPLA,11,,0,,
AMESH,2
 

RE: [APDL] very simple AMESH error

Hi,

 Plane 42 needs to be defined in Global X-Y plane. The geometry defined in the above APDl is defined in more than a single plane. Hence Plane 42 cannot be used.

Pl. refer the PLANE42 Assumptions and Restrictions from the element library.

Depending upon the requirements, select an appropriate element.

Thanks elogesh,
I need to extrude the meshed area with SOLID5 element to make a meshed volume (with SOLID5) Do you know any 2D element that I can do the same instead of PLANE42?

RE: [APDL] very simple AMESH error

Hi,
Element type mesh200 may meet the requirement.Also define the keyoption 1 as per the requirements (Tria/Quad, second order)...
